I was fascinated by the discussion this week on code colouring - enough to want to try out various schemes for myself... So I've whipped up a quick newLISP-GS app for exploring them via HTML styles. Basically I've quickly merged two projects to produce this one:
//http://unbalanced-parentheses.nfshost.com/downloads/rainbow-code.lsp
It's very much a hack, and prone to crashing, but you may find it fun...
I'd be interested to see it running on your machine...?!
(PS: If you're not using a UTF8 system, you may have to replace the utf8len functions with length...)
Nice work cormullion... ;-)
The code does run here, partly ;-)
...first time i saw the unicode catch, Though I cant update the color
fields...everytime I type a new color it resets to the old value...
if you type this in the input field ->
9870987098709870987098709870987097890870978.....etc..
it moves to -1 in the output field, not a bug probably a format issue...
Ill have a closer look in the code... ;-)
Oh rats... I was hoping it would run OK on someone else's machine...
Any input in all but the first field (font-size) should be truncated to six chars and prefixed with a #.
It's supposed to look like this:

Perhaps it's a locale issue?
Sorry!
Works fine here :-)

Phew, thanks. I'm not completely mad, then...:)
